Microsoft HoloLens Previews Available At NYC, Access by appointment to …

At the studio, software developers will see a video and get hands-on demonstrations. Good news for those who want a hands-on preview of the Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality headset – the company’s New York City store is offering these immersive previews. Another shows the technology’s potential in presentations and sales, using a luxury watch as an example of how holograms can give potential customers more insights into features. But be quick to reserve your immersing experience as seats are limited and an open invitation reserved especially for you is bound to create huge waiting lists.

The thing, however, is that you’ll have to schedule an appointment if you’re an interested developer, and that there are hundreds of devs already on the waitlist. And that, according to a Microsoft spokesman, is in the New York metro alone. “It’s because of this overwhelming reception that we’re eager to open the first ongoing HoloLens experience showcase for developers at the Microsoft Flagship Store in New York,” explained Microsoft Operating System Group technical fellow Alex Kipman in a statement. “Now, developers who have been wanting to try HoloLens will have the chance to experience the world’s first fully untethered holographic computer, powered by Windows 10, for themselves.” Appointments can now be scheduled at the HoloLens Events Website, though, as Kipman warned, the waiting list seems to be very, very long and expected to grow longer ahead of the 2016 previews.
